NIDA is in the process of
transitioning the review of all of its Career Development award applications
(with the exception of K12 and K99/R00 applications) to the Center for Scientific
Review (CSR). The following Career Development award applications will be
affected by this change in locus of review:

K01
Mentored research scientist development award

K02
Independent scientist award

K05
Senior scientist research and mentorship award

K08
Mentored clinical scientist research career development award

K23
Mentored patient-oriented research career development award

K24
Midcareer investigator in patient-oriented research award

K25
Mentored quantitative research development award

The first applications to transition to CSR review will be
new applications submitted for the February 12, 2012 receipt date (May 7, 2012
for new AIDS applications).

Resubmitted (A1) Career Development award applications for
the March 12, 2012 and July 12, 2012 receipt dates (for resubmitted AIDS
applications, the receipt dates are May 7, 2012 and September 7, 2012) will be
reviewed by NIDA’s Training and Career Development (NIDA-K) Review
Committee. For subsequent review and award cycles, however,
resubmitted applications will also be reviewed at CSR.

Thus, beginning with applications submitted for the October
12, 2012 receipt date and thereafter, this transition will have been completed
and all Career Development award applications (except K12 and K99/R00
applications), whether new or resubmissions, will be reviewed at CSR.

The November, 2012 Review will be the last time that the
NIDA-K Review Committee will review resubmitted (A1) applications for the affected
mechanisms listed above. Candidates seeking NIDA-K Committee review for their
resubmission applications previously reviewed by this Committee must resubmit
their applications by July 12, 2012 (September 7, 2012 for AIDS resubmissions).

Table 2: transition to CSR review. New Career Development
Award applications submitted for the Cycle I, 2012 receipt dates will be
transitioning first, followed by resubmitted Career Development Award
applications submitted for the Cycle III, 2012 receipt dates.
